Post Module Assignments

Module Assessments are designed as an educational extension to a particular module that you attended. During the module the targets are concerned with the familiarisation and the understanding of a coherent body of knowledge and the techniques of its application in industry; the post-module assignment is to enable the student to build-up confidence in the techniques of application of this knowledge and to indicate to the tutors whether the module targets have been achieved.

A second function of the post-module assignment is its use for the continuous assessment of the course work which is credited towards the fulfilment of the requirements for the MSc. The regulations state that an MSc student must satisfactorily complete and satisfy the examiners in modules equivalent to either 90 or 120 academic units of credit subject to the course (i.e. attend fully, submit and pass all the pertaining assignments).

The majority of assignments are expected to be submitted to Tabula by the specified deadline. Please ensure that you check this carefully.

The following are recommendations to help you in the submission of satisfactory quality post-module work:

Post-module work should demonstrate to the module tutor that:

(a) You have correctly interpreted the assignment;

(b) You have become reasonably familiar with the body of knowledge covered in the module;

(c) You have mastered the application of this knowledge;

(d) You can reasonably communicate this application;

(e) You can critically assess the constraints and limitations of the application of this body of knowledge and discuss them in a coherent manner.
